[Ghost]

very very hard question... i change a lot but lets say -

i am liable to change that at any time,at the time of writing i'm getting hard over anthrax's stand or fall...

 

[timmytom1]

Band: Rammstein
Song: The sound of madness

Isn`t the sound of madness by shinedown?

 

[Aptspire]

Band: Rammstein
Song: The sound of madness

Isn`t the sound of madness by shinedown?

there's nothing here that obligates my favorite song to come from my favorite band, is there?
but otherwise, you are right.

I know but by not putting the band in there it`s a tad ambiguous

 

[300lb. Samoan]

Sonata Arctica-Kingdom for a Heart

I will get a cyber slap for this but punk beats metal everytime

I couldn't agree with you more

Well, I wouldn't say EVERY time... for instance, there have been many times post-1994 where "punk-rawk" sucked so hard it made me want to cry blood. But eighties hardcore (minor threat, bad brains, dead kennedys) will ALWAYS trump eighties metal (poison, Cinderella, power-ballad-copycats-#1138, etc.) except for Slayer, who in context count as a hardcore/metal crossover anyway.

OT - Amon Amarth - Fate of Norns

Also, it helps if you adhere to the rule of METAL bands and songs. MUCH less confusion on that front...

 

[G1eet]

At the moment, it's Nothing Left by As I Lay Dying, but All That Remains takes up a good portion of my itunes library.

In Flames isn't left out, either.

 

[CNKFan]

Cannibal Corpse-I Cum Blood
Dark Funeral-666 Voices Inside
Bal-Sagoth-Shackled to the Trilithon of Kutulu
Rammstein-Benzin
Ministry-Burning Inside
Behemoth-At the Left Hand ov God
I forgot Jim Beamad Anherbe TV by Count Nosferatu Kommando (CNK)

 

[nigelwaters]

Favorite Band:
Dream Theater

Favorite song... at the moment:
Dyer's Eve by Metallica

 

[LewsTherin]

Right now it's:

Song:Upon the Grave of Guilt
Band: Falconer

But for all time I'd say:

Song:the Greater Good of God
Band: Iron Maiden.

Or really anything by Maiden

 

[Incredible Bullshitting Man]

Holy crap never expected this to go so well as a post

Many metalheads in here, it seems.

Does Finnish Humppa count as metal?

If so (and it does), then mine is "Pine Woods" by Korpiklaani.

Humppa is just humppa, but folk metal on the other hand is metal.
Anyway: Happy little, happy little, happy little boozer!!

Your knowledge of obscure Euro-folk rock is clearly better than mine. I bow to you, with caveats.

Oh, and [Korpiklaani lyrics in Finnish I don't understand, something like "Fagalousch, fagalousch, koralimi san!"]

 

[thegriffeffect]

don't have a favorite for either one but mine are

Walk with me in hell by Lamb of God
hallowed be thy name, nymphetamine, the foetus of a new day kicking, and tonight in flames by cradle of filth
the pot, lateralus, and ticks and leaches by tool
and the majority of Nine Inch Nails' music

Well, being a Finn, I ought to know something about our folk music. Korpiklaani is basically a folk band turned metal, with traditional folk music instruments, like accordion (!), included. A weird concept, but still works like Hell. Oh, and humppa is a Finnish version of fast foxtrot, sort of.

 

[jdog345]

Mastodon-The wolf Is Loose

Yeah, people I know here in America just says it sounds like metal polka.

 

[ExodusinFlames]

Opeth will always be my favorite to pick a song would only take away from what they've done.
